We are happy you are interested in our beloved cottage! This lake house is not your typical vacation rental. This really is Grandma and Grandpa’s country home away from home for 55 years, and they love having all their old stuff full of memories still there. They are a simple couple that grew up in hard times, now 95! So they don’t buy new things often, and are comfortable with stained beach towels. We focus on the experience and time together rather than material things. So with that being said we have not replaced the bedding, rugs, or TV. Everything is throughly cleaned and disinfected, even fresh paint!; but it is all still old stuff, that still works! There is no A/C, but there are plenty of windows and each room has at least one fan in it. There is heat. There is plenty of space for your belongings when you check in. At least the top 2 drawers in all rooms are clean and empty. Each bed has its own light and outlet close enough to not get up from the multiple pillows provided. The other thing you should know is that the water is high in iron and always has been, and since the cottage is closed up for the winter you will see rust in toilets and sinks slightly. I assure you it is fine to shower and wash dishes and clothes, but please do bring drinking water. Even though it’s an old county cottage it is a 2 min walk to the beautiful lake in a safe, private and friendly community with plenty of room for the whole family, a huge yard and many amenities to help you enjoy your vacation; like bikes, balls, lake toys, board games, full working and stocked kitchen, and a working Apple TV on our old school TV! Please let us know if you have any questions. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Thin carpet in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycles ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Bicycles - Electric car charging station - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105950000/105948400/105948302/e977570f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Berkshires' best!

Definitely old-fashioned, but spacious with several sleep options. This is not the spot if you are looking for fancy or upscale, but we appreciated that this is a beloved old family cabin. The location is perfect if you like walking and exploring right at your front door. ##### Margy V. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025
